Well hey, since the IRC channel got made, these forums are up, I'll just throw this idea out there for the hell of it too. Basically for awhile I've had the idea of potentially re-releasing older stuff with better higher quality rips and fixed translations. I would have to endure watching HK translations and while watching stuff construct a script of my own, fix the timing, etc, then attach the subs to better quality rips of said show. The two series I've been interested in doing this for awhile would be Armor Hunter Mellowlink and Heavy Metal L-Gaim. Lupin Gang did the translation for Mellowlink which is fine (aside from some of the military ranks not getting translated I think), but I think their version is old VHS rips. DVD raws of the series have been out for awhile and someone released softsubs for the first three episodes, but no news on that for awhile. It's a shorter series so finishing this wouldn't be too far out. L-Gaim as some of you may know was started by Shin-Getter, than stalled since they kind of disappeared. It's been HK translated and recently I found some slightly higher quality raws to potentially work with. DVD raws: http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=26343 HK set: http://www.mininova.org/tor/328010 (more torrents out there of this I'm sure) I came up with a silly name, MaxQuality (MaxQualitySubs?) [MQ], lmao ... basically just wanted to come up with some kind of tag if I ever do this for uploads and stuff. Alas I don't want / plan on taking any real credit whatsoever, I don't speak moon at all. And well if I did this with something like L-Gaim I could see some questioning how true the dialogue "fixes" and whatnot are. Then again maybe that's not a huge deal? I guess I heard recently there was some groups like ASS that also went around "fixing" HK releases. http://maxqualitysubs.blogspot.com/ I'll be totally honest though, I've had this idea for probably months literally and have never really done anything about it. Guess I'm pretty damn lazy and I watch a lot of anime and shit, might get a full time job soon, /etc. But I thought I'd throw this idea out there. Maybe others would be interested in doing this, or maybe doing a joint effort? No idea! But yeah for the record I don't know Japanese at all, except those basic terms you always hear. My subbing experience is fairly limited too. I understand the files, timing, stuff like that... when it comes to encoding all I know about is throwing a video/sub file in mkvmerge, lol. So yeah? :rolleyes: |

Mellowlink doesn't seem to be too hard to do. Link to the old subtitled rips and the new DVD raw, if i may ask? In this case worst come to worst you can always time and copy manually what you saw to the script. |

I'm only a scanlator, but if you think there's something I can help out with, I'm more than willing to do it. |

Holy nuts, searching "UNKO" on nyaatorrents brings up tons and tons of raws of stuff. Who knows what all those are?? lol. Anyways, this should be the DVD raw rips: http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=8557 This "might" work for the old releases: http://www.mininova.org/tor/413030 I remember redownloading recently and the torrent I used was fairly slow. If all else fails I could upload these for DDL somewhere. Also if you want I can quickly upload and post the softsubs for the first three episodes. Patrick: Cools.

Among other things, you can see galient, vifam, votoms, dragonar, infinite ryvius, logh, etc. And the the original release torrent you give me seems to be dead. I need to free up space and check if it's true though. |

Yeah I think the torrent is still good, I'm still seeding in fact. Only two seeds and some peers, but I think it downloaded fairly fast for me. Oh and Dragonar? Heh, there's another potential "Fix HK translation" project I guess. But man, just like you I really need another HD or something, lol. |

Oh wow there's loads there, Vifam, Galient, DanGaiOh, Xabungle, Dragonar, Votoms. Only problem is I can't torrent on my uni connection, and my sister won't be pleased if I make her torrent more for me (she's already torrenting Raideen for me) |

Can do: whatever needs doing Current project: Great Mazinger manga, Yuusha Raideen, Baxinger, Layzner, Dragonar http://ptolemaios.wordpress.com/ | |

If I recall correctly from #/m/, someone is already resubbing Heavy Metal L-Gaim. DrugLordKai. But he needed a clean-up guy last I heard. |

"clean-up guy", quality check and stuff I assume? Well I say we try and lead him here if we can, I along with others possibly I'm sure would be more than willing to help with that! I've been dying to see L-Gaim with a good translation. UKAnon: Come to think of it yeah I think I got Mellowlink off boxtorrents too. Also here's the softsubs for 1-3: http://rapidshare.com/files/190069961/Mero...ft_Subs_1-3.zip They're not perfectly actually. I noticed some spelling errors and "Balalant" instead of "Balarant" which I think is the more common translation appearing in Votoms/etc. |
